Notes by stove5 | export

 Could it be possible to get by with one relay or no ? #asknostr 
 Also less likely people will see your notes. It would basically just be a worse Twitter. 
 Attacks on nostr are welcome, they just incentivize developers to make the ecosystem more robust #grownostr #spam

 Trivial to evade (and already happening) 
 That's possibly overkill and easily evaded too. I think there needs to be some kind of "web of trust" filtering.

 Hey #nostr is it “no-str” or “naw-str”? 
 IMO it's just pronouncing it the way it's spelled, so either "no" or "nah" makes sense to me. Doesn't really matter if the "n" stands for notes.

What is it that causes an event to get displayed in the local feed exactly? And is global just every event the database knows about (no matter if they were imported from other relays)? 
 Might be able to answer my own question, but guessing the local feed are messages from users with NIP-05 identifiers from that domain?

 Has anyone experienced an issue where you install an app via Obtainium and yet Aurora Store tries to manage the updates? This seems to break the setup in Obtainium if you accidentally do the upgrade through Aurora. #grapheneos #android 
 Yeah that's what I had to do 
 If only there was a way to avoid censorship on social media #censorship #nostr

 Let's get the #osint tag going. 2500 sats to the first person to geolocate this image. #asknostr #grownostr https://image.nostr.build/5d37414241e10ecda03fe7345f76e54e85bc029f05c3dc88310094c1b087ac2d.jpg

 What about relays that forget content after a period of time? These would be very lightweight and easy to run. Most people don't even want their notes stored for eternity.

 True, you have to request events from the relay so it knows your IP. Just like accessing a website.

 To be honest I'm not sure. Can you be a bit more specific though on what dangers you're worried about? 
 Probably not in any reliable way. Soecific applications built on top of nostr might be able to offer a minimal level of protection against that kind of thing, but at the protocol I don't think it's even desirable to try to solve for that.
